God Shammgod apologized Wednesday night for calling back so late, explaining that he\u2019d been inundated with calls and texts once the news became official.<\/p>\n
He indeed is joining longtime friend Jamahl Mosley\u2019s staff in Orlando, somewhat reluctantly leaving behind the Dallas Mavericks, where he\u2019s been a staff fixture since 2016.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the Shammgod crossover everyone has seen coming for weeks, but once again proved unstoppable. <\/p>\n
\u201cAh, man, it was tough,\u201d he said of his decision. \u201cI\u2019ve been a Mav for nine years. The coaching thing basically raised me.<\/p>\n
Mavericks<\/p>\n
\u201cI look at Dallas as my home. New York is my home, but Dallas is my home, you know? The people in Dallas have always been so nice to me, but this is a great opportunity for me. More stuff for me. More ways to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shammgod\u2019s departure comes at a time of considerable turnover on Jason Kidd\u2019s staff, but he politely declined to elaborate about how hard the Mavericks fought to keep him as his contract expired a few days ago.<\/p>\n
His exit follows those of Alex Jensen, Sean Sweeney and, likely soon, Jared Dudley \u2013 and the influx of Frank Vogel, Jay Triano and reportedly soon Phil Handy and Mike Penberthy<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just trying to go to higher pastures,\u201d Shammgod said, though later adding: \u201cJust like most people, I didn\u2019t think [leaving Dallas] would be possible a month ago.\u201d <\/p>\n
Shammgod, 49, sounded sincere when he said the Mavericks\u2019 coaching opportunity, initially as part of Rick Carlisle\u2019s staff, helped raise him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been very fortunate, being under a great coach like Rick Carlisle, and then going to another good coach like J-Kidd and being a part of one of the best organizations in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Mark Cuban, you know, probably one of the greatest owners in sports \u2013 but, to me, an even better person.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will always be a love relationship for me here in Dallas. I just appreciate everything Dallas did for me, as a coach and as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice cracked as he finished that sentence. If you know anything about Shammgod\u2019s quiet-strength persona, you know how unusual that is.<\/p>\n
A New York City and Providence College basketball legend, he might be the only NBA assistant coach to get a signature shoe, with Puma, initially in 2020 the Legacy Shammgod and more recently the All-Pro Nitro 2 God Shammgod.<\/p>\n
After leading Providence to the 1997 Elite Eight, where it lost to eventual champion Arizona in overtime, Shammgod played 20 games for the Wizards but the rest of his playing career was spent outside the United States.<\/p>\n
Coaching wasn\u2019t a consideration until he re-enrolled at Providence in 2012, served as an undergrad assistant and earned a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Leadership Development in May 2015.<\/p>\n
Enter the Mavericks organization, specifically Carlisle and then-team governor Cuban. Shammgod\u2019s official title has been player development coach, but more apt descriptions would be \u201ceverything\u201d and \u201clife coach\u201d and \u201cpeople uniter.\u201d <\/p>\n
It\u2019s no accident that he was one of the pregame warmup coaches for both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have so many great relationships here that will last a lifetime,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s Kai, Luka, Seth Curry, Wes [Matthews], Harrison Barnes, Dirk [Nowitzki], all the players and coaches that were part of my growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll those people and memories will always be with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also no accident that he is reuniting with Mosley, who was on Carlisle\u2019s Mavericks staff from 2014 to 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody knows Jamahl coached with me in Dallas,\u201d Shammgod said. \u201cBut what people don\u2019t know is I had Jamahl Mosely, coming on campus recruitment visits when I was a sophomore at Providence College.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been locked in for a long time. He\u2019s been more than a friend to me. He\u2019ll be more than a head coach and more than a boss to me. I\u2019ll always try to prove that he made the right choice.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, the same thing I did with the Mavs.\u201d<\/p>\n
